So, I have been creating a lot of aliases as I make my realm. I have to concerns I would like some info about.
1.) Do all of those duplicate entries eat up a lot of storage space? I know I have plenty of cloud space for now, but I'm worried about the longer term. Am I shooting myself in the foot? It just seems silly to duplicate all that data when all I want is to auto link to the single location. Is there no way to do this without creating an entire duplicate? I can see why, in some cases, I may want to duplicate the entry, but generally I don't. 2.) Will all the duplicated data slow down realm works? |

The data isn't duplicated, the aliases point to the same topic.

OK, since it creates duplicate entries in the almanac (grayed out) I assumed they were duplicates.

Oh, and I wouldn't expect you to see any slowdown from using lots of aliases. True, you are expanding the table where searches for links are made but that's nothing like searching some huge PDF file, for example. More like searching through a few pages in Notepad, probably faster, actually, since it would be in a table and likely optimized for searching (that's behind the scenes stuff, though, not something us users of the program need worry about.)
